Daryl Mosley Longs For Simpler Times In Latest Music Video, “When The Good Old Days Were New”

Emotional Clip Premieres On Bluegrass Ridge TV

And Debuts On Americana UK Today

Nashville, TN (June 24, 2024) - Award-winning singer/songwriter Daryl Mosley’s new music video, “When The Good Old Days Were New,” offers a look back at a simpler time. Those recollections are highlighted here via archival footage including home movies and photo montages from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Vacations in the family car, backyard BBQs, hot summer days riding bikes and baling hay are shown. Modern actors portray the sweetly remembered front porch rocking chair visits between young and old. Daryl grounds us with simple acoustic performance footage that interplays nicely with the other elements. It is a visual tribute to the moments and memories of family time, naïve freedoms and youthful adventure that are part and parcel of the collective conscience. The video enjoyed its broadcast premiere on Bluegrass Ridge TV and its online debut on Americana UK.

For Mosley, a devotee of a “slower pace,” the video achieved exactly what he hoped; it is sentimental without being maudlin. "I tend to look at the past with rose colored glasses and this piece has a positive slant that was important to me,” Mosley says. “The mix of wonderful actors, incredible location and vintage home video footage really spotlight that sense of nostalgia and a longing for those times you wish you could recapture.”

The project was filmed this spring on location at the historic McElroy House, a 1860s-era cabin in the picturesque mountain town of Burnsville, North Carolina. Local actors Dylan Wilson and Allison Yumagulava star. The clip is a Bonfire Music Group effort produced by Ethan Burkhardt and directed by Ryan Kay. It is a companion piece to Mosley’s current release, which dropped May 8. “When The Good Old Days Were New” is the first single from Daryl’s upcoming fourth studio album for Pinecastle Records and is available for streaming or purchase now.
